The Federal Court has overturned the Court of Appeal's landmark ruling that Section 62 of the MACC Act, which requires an accused to file his or her defence before trial, to be unconstitutional.
The five-man bench led by Chief Justice Md Raus Sharif unanimously ruled that the provision was constitutional and was not ultra vires the Federal Constitution.
He also ordered for the case management of the corruption charge against Lim Guan Eng - who challenged the constitutionality of Section 62 of the MACC Act - to be held at the High Court in Penang on Jan 10, 2018.
